To evaluate the essential role of Moringa-albumin (MA) formulation in the maintenance of complement regulatory proteins through CD55 and CD59 on erythrocyte (TER-119). ⋯ MA formulation with D3 group (1500 mg/kg (M) + 200 mg/kg (A)) was able to maintain or control complement regulatory proteins (CD55 and CD59) on red blood cells (erythrocytes/TER-119) in DM.
-
To evaluate diagnostic reliability of accessible laboratory findings in recognition of acute appendicitis (AA). ⋯ PCT values have significant sensitivity, specificity and diagnostic accuracy in recognizing AA, while CRP and leukocytes, with high sensitivity, as non-specific markers can be a significant support for clinical assessment in the timely diagnosis of AA.
-
To investigate the risk for falls in elderly patients treated in the Primary Health Care Centre Gradiška, Bosnia and Herzegovina. ⋯ About two-thirds of the examinees over the age of 75 had a high risk of falls, which indicates that family doctors should be more involved in fall prevention of elderly patients and constantly educate older patients and their families about it.
-
To assess the efficacy of Erector Spinae Plane Block (ESPB) compared to caudal block in reducing postoperative pain in paediatric surgery. ⋯ ESPB and caudal block showed equivalent analgesia efficacy and safety in paediatric surgery.
-
To investigate out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) trend, provided advanced life support (ALS) measures, automated external defibrillator (AEDs) utilization and bystanders' involvement in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) during OHCA incidents. ⋯ This follow-up study showed less ROSC achievement, similar bystanders' involvement, similar factors associated with achieving ROSC (age, EMT response time), and a decline in OHCA events (especially in year 2021 and 2022) compared to our previous study (2015-2019). There was an extremely low rate of bystander engagement and no AEDs usage. Governments and health organizations must swiftly improve public awareness, promote better practice (basic life support), and actively encourage bystander participation.
